Jean-Luc, I have had some success in getting rtl8192se to work as an AP using the attached patch on top of the latest wireless-testing. A recent compat-wireless should also work. I need to do a lot more testing, but I had a ping going for 8100 seconds with 2% packet loss. Obviously, there is room for improvement but at least there is progress. BTW, I'm using a 10ec:8174 device for testing.
